Definitions

Define -ary function

It is easy to see that is an L-S function, which is called Lebesgue function, abbreviated as L function. The L-S measure induced by the -dimensional L function on is called Lebesgue measure on , abbreviated as measure, denoted as , thus is a measure space.

is the outer measure in measure extension from semi-ring to sigma algebra.

Let be the completion of . is called Lebesgue measurable set, abbreviated as L measurable set.


Properties

  1. L measure is invariant under translation, i.e. , ( is L measurable is L measurable), and
  2. L measure is invariant under reflection, i.e. , ( is L measurable is L measurable)
  3. , s.t. is not L measurable. For example, Vitali set.
